Requiem

Why should I play this game of pretend?
 Remembering through a secondhand sorrow?
 Such a great son and wonderful friend
 Oh, don't the tears just pour
 I could curl up and hide in my room
 There in my bed, still sobbing tomorrow
 I could give in to all of the gloom
 But tell me, tell me what for
 Why should I have a heavy heart?
 Why should I start to break in pieces?
 Why should I go and fall apart for you?
 Why should I play the grieving girl and lie
 Saying that I miss you
 And that my world has gone dark without your light?
 I will sing no requiem tonight
 ♪
 I gave you the world, you threw it away
 Leaving these broken pieces behind you
 Everything wasted, nothing to say
 So I can sing no requiem
 I hear your voice, I feel you near
 Within these words, I finally find you
 And now that I know that you are still here
 I will sing no requiem tonight
 Why should I have a heavy heart?
 Why should I say I'll keep you with me?
 Why should I go and fall apart for you?
 Why should I play the grieving girl and lie
 Saying that I miss you
 And that my world has gone dark without your light? (I can see your light)
 I will sing no requiem tonight
 'Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep
 No one lights a candle to remember
 No, no one mourns at all
 When they lay them down to sleep
 So, don't tell me that I didn't have it right
 Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white
 After all you put me through
 Don't say it wasn't true
 That you were not the monster that I knew
 'Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and lie
 Saying that I miss you
 And that my world has gone dark
 I will sing no requiem
 I will sing no requiem
 I will sing no requiem tonight
 Oh-oh, oh-oh
 Oh-oh, oh-oh
